When you roll your future TV out of sight into a little box, thank LG Display. (Well they had the competitive help of Samsung also going after this, and both of these companies use TRIZ to come up with these systems - too bad other companies aren't savvy in this way as they too could bring awesome new designs to the world). The leader in big-screen OLED manufacturing, not satisfied to debut the first 88-inch 8K OLED TV, will show off another world's first at CES: a 65-inch 4K OLED display that's, get this, rollable. Although some concept big-screen TVs shown at past CES shows have been bendy, this is the first one that's flexible enough to spin up into tube form. LG's images depict it descending into a little box the size of a sound bar, but the company also talks about making the display portable. The secret, as usual, is its paper-thin organic light emitting diode display (OLED).
As OpenAI and Anthropic move deeper into healthcare, experts say AI chatbots are becoming the new front door to medicine. This shift is shaking things up for some health tech startups, redefining the patient-provider relationship, and intensifying debates over safety, privacy and accountability.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is “open” to mergers and acquisitions as the company plans to ramp up investments in AI, according to a report from CNBC.
Richard Platt's insight:
Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company is “open” to mergers and acquisitions as it “significantly” increases its investment in AI, as reported by CNBC. Cook’s statements were made alongside the release of Apple’s Q3'25 earnings results, revealing that the iPhone maker raked in $94 billion, marking a 10% increase over Q3'24. When speaking about AI, Cook said the company is “embedding it across our devices, across our platforms and across the company,”
Though Apple has touted big plans for an AI-enhanced version of Siri, the timing of its release remains uncertain after the company delayed the revamp. Apple’s SVP of software, Craig Federighi, said it just wasn’t “reliable” enough to release broadly.
”We’re making good progress on a more personalized Siri,” Cook said during an earnings call on Thursday. “We are also reallocating a fair number of people to focus on AI features within the company.”
Despite the AI hiccups, Apple’s core businesses remain strong. Apple’s iPhone business grew 13 percent year over year to $44.6 billion. Mac revenue also saw a boost, reaching $8.1 billion in revenue, likely due to Apple releasing a new MacBook Air in March. Revenue from Apple’s services, which include subscriptions to things like Apple TV Plus, iCloud, and Apple Music, saw a 13% increase to $27.4 billion, which is an “all-time high.”
The remarks come as Apple continues to be seen as behind the AI race, with its efforts on Apple Intelligence lagging relative to its peers and Meta poaching some of its top engineers. The company is increasingly turning to AI startups for help — and reports have suggested that Apple is even open to making big acquisitions to catch up.
The development is not the result of a direct port of Steam to RISC-V, but rather a testament to the growing sophistication of felix86, a userspac
Richard Platt's insight:
An open source computing milestone is unfolding as RISC-V systems – long considered a technology for embedded devices – begin to step onto the gaming stage. Developers have successfully enabled Valve's Steam platform to run on RISC-V-powered Linux systems, marking the arrival of big-name titles like The Witcher 3 and Crysis on this previously untapped architecture. Performance, on RISC-V it must be noted, is not yet on par with x86 or Arm competitors, especially for high-end gaming. Developers caution that while games now load and run, further optimization is needed to reach ideal playability. RISC-V's reputation still largely rests within sectors like embedded systems and IoT devices, where billions of chips operate quietly in the background. For those tracking the slow but steady climb of open hardware in a world still dominated by proprietary architectures, this marks a noteworthy breakthrough for RISC-V, and perhaps the beginning of a new chapter in cross-platform, open source gaming.For most consumers, the platform's biggest successes have gone largely unnoticed. However, recent hardware such as the DC-ROMA laptop, the Milk-V Megrez board, and initiatives from companies like Framework are helping bring RISC-V into the spotlight.
The real enemy of execution isn't resistance. It's subtle sabotage disguised as regular work.
Richard Platt's insight:
The genius of the CIA's Sabotage Manual is that it recognises how fragile execution really is. You don't need to collapse the structure. You only need to inject just enough confusion, bureaucracy, or doubt to make the team hesitate. And in many organisations, this kind of sabotage doesn't come from outside, it comes from inside the organization itself. It is the natural consequence of processes built on prediction rather than readiness.
So if your strategy is starting to stall, don't just look at the plan. Look at the space you've created for action. Look at how decisions get made. Look at how meetings are run. Observe whether people are moving with purpose or merely performing the motions of alignment while nothing actually shifts. Strategy rarely fails in theory; it fails when contact with reality reveals how brittle your execution really is. And in those moments, planning is not about control. It is your only defence. A strategy that survives contact with reality starts by protecting your ability to act.
With the increased use of generative AI to do many of the tasks we have long associated with teaching and learning, there is a genuine concern that rather than supporting and developing learning and understanding AI may be used in a way which is negating the need for it. In this session Nik will look at an alternative method of prompting and how it can lead to deeper cognitive engagements and better metacognitive understanding. Nik will demonstrate and share a number of prompts that are specific to teacher development that participants can try out and evaluate for themselves.

Why you should not use VSMs (Value Stream Mapping) to try and find the bottleneck in your factory. VSM is a powerful and widely used tool. It can be used to improve the speed and efficiency of the production of one product. But is is not the right tool to identify the bottleneck or capacity constraint in a production system. This short video explains why.
I recently encountered a term that stopped me in my tracks - cognitive outsourcing (thanks to Professor Miles Berry for that one!). We're all well-acquainted with cognitive offloading. That's the act of letting a tool take the weight of a task so we don't have to. But "outsourcing"? That feels different. It sounds distinctly middle-class,…
Cognitive offloading is often a total hand-off. Dumping the task and walking away. The responsibility transfers completely. You’ve got the answer, job done, move on.

By the mid-1980s, Kaizen had been formalized, named, and exported as a standalone improvement practice. In that transition, Kaizen ceased to operate as a governed mechanism inside the Toyota Production System and began operating independently of the system that originally constrained and verified it

How can we evaluate, integrate and govern these rapidly evolving technologies responsibly, so that they enrich rather than displace the irreplaceable human elements of education? We have written this book to try and address these questions, to ofer guidance for realizing GenAI’s potential while upholding the values of thoughtful pedagogy and academic rigour.

La IA ofrece grandes oportunidades, pero también presenta riesgos y dificultades a nivel educativo. Uno de estos riesgos es que los alumnos no se esfuercen por pensar, recurriendo a ella para resolver las tareas. Además, puede provocar que no se desarrolle el pensamiento crítico y reflexivo. Por ello, es fundamental establecer su incorporación a las aulas, definiendo la intención pedagógica, el marco ético o los objetivos de enseñanza y aprendizaje que con su uso se pretenden alcanzar.
La OCDE deja claro que la tecnología y la inteligencia artificial ya forman parte de la educación, pero que no son una solución mágica. Bien usadas, pueden ayudar a personalizar el aprendizaje y facilitar el trabajo en el aula; mal usadas, pueden aumentar desigualdades o hacer que se aprenda menos. Por eso, el verdadero reto no es tener más tecnología, sino saber usarla con sentido, formar bien al profesorado y poner siempre el aprendizaje y las personas en el centro.
El OECD Digital Education Outlook 2026 es un informe internacional que analiza cómo la inteligencia artificial generativa (GenAI) está transformando el campo educativo y qué criterios hacen que su uso sea efectivo y pedagógicamente significativo. El documento destaca que, aunque herramientas como ChatGPT y otras aplicaciones de IA pueden mejorar la calidad del trabajo escolar, no siempre generan aprendizaje real si se usan sin bases pedagógicas sólidas; es decir, producir buenas respuestas no garantiza que se hayan desarrollado habilidades profundas. Un hallazgo clave del informe es que la IA puede contribuir positivamente al aprendizaje cuando se integra con una intención pedagógica clara, por ejemplo, actuando como tutor o compañero de diálogo que fomenta el pensamiento crítico, la creatividad y la colaboración entre estudiantes. Además, subraya la importancia de rediseñar estrategias de enseñanza para que la IA complemente el proceso educativo sin sustituir el esfuerzo cognitivo necesario para la internalización de conceptos. El informe también reconoce el papel central de los docentes en esta transformación: la IA debe aumentar la capacidad del profesorado para enseñar, no reemplazarla. Herramientas co‑diseñadas con docentes y centradas en objetivos de aprendizaje pueden amplificar la calidad de la enseñanza, manteniendo la agencia profesional del docente como eje del proceso educativo. Este estudio es especialmente relevante para entender la educación digital del siglo XXI porque plantea la necesidad de una integración ética, reflexiva y pedagógica de las tecnologías, impulsando no solo habilidades técnicas sino también competencias cognitivas y metacognitivas que preparan a los estudiantes para enfrentar desafíos complejos en un mundo cada vez más digitalizado.
This is not another mainstream video about BlackRock. By now, many people are familiar with the public narrative: “…BlackRock is an extremely dangerous company.” “They have that much control to get everybody to do what they want them to do. “Larry Fink, the guy running BlackRock, is really the president—if we look at the influence he has in every industry.” For Larry Fink, it´s not just about owning companies anymore. It´s about executing his $68 Trillion Dollar Gameplan. And no one—is going to stop him.
A new report traces the history of the early wave of Chinese hackers who became the backbone of the state's espionage apparatus.
Richard Platt's insight:
A new report traces the history of the early wave of Chinese hackers who became the backbone of the state's espionage apparatus....Tan and his university friends were encouraged to participate in a PLA-affiliated hacking contest and won 1st place. The PLA invited them to an intense, monthlong hacker training camp, and within weeks Tan and his friends were building hacking tools, studying network infiltration techniques, and conducting simulated attacks. Tan, then launched his own hacking group—the Network Crack Program Hacker (NCPH). The group quickly gained notoriety for winning hacking contests and developing hacking tools. They created the GinWui rootkit, one of China’s first homegrown remote-access backdoors and then, experts believe, used it and dozens of zero-day exploits they wrote in a series of “unprecedented” hacks against US companies and government entities over the spring and summer of 2006. They did this on behalf of the PLA, according to Adam Kozy, who tracked Tan and other Chinese hackers for years as a former FBI analyst who now heads the SinaCyber consulting firm, focused on China. Tan said that he and his team were being paid about $250/month for hacking. The pay increased to $1,000/month after their summer hacking spree, a 2007 report by former threat intelligence firm VeriSign iDefense. So, Tan switched teams and began contracting for the Ministry of State Security (MSS), China’s civilian intelligence agency, as part of its notorious hacking group known as APT 41. In 2020, the US Justice Department announced indictments against him and other APT 41 members for hacking +100 targets, including US government systems, health care organizations, and telecoms. Tan is just one of many former Honkers who began their careers as self-directed patriotic hackers before being absorbed by the state into its massive spying apparatus.

When we think about media manipulation, we often picture advanced editing software, fake news, or AI-generated deepfakes. But for me, the question starts much earlier and much simpler: can a four or five-year-old understand that a photo might not show what really happened?
